Dogs, cats, deer and many other animals have better night vision than humans. This helps them hunt and forage at night. Their enhanced night vision is achieved by an extra layer of reflective tissue behind their eyes. This layer reflects and enhances the light. It appears to glow green.

∙ 9y agoCats are the most famous for their "glowing" eyes. Cats, dogs, and many nocturnal creatures appear to have glowing eyes because the back of their eyeballs include a special reflective layer that allows them to see clearer at night. The layer is called the tapetum lucidum. It increases the quantity of light caught by the retina. The tapetum lucidum collects and re-emits light back to the retina, giving the rods a second chance to absorb the image. As this light is reflected off the tapetum lucidum, the animal's eyes appear to glow.

∙ 12y agoThe eyes of cats and other animals that hunt at night often have a reflective layer at the back of the eyeball that makes light shine back through the optic sensors again doubling the impact of the light on the nerves. This increases the ability of the cat to see in the low light conditions although it does decrease the precision of the picture.

How do animals eyes glow in the dark?
Animals eyes do not glow, their eyes only reflect light. This reflection of light, which appears to make the animal's eye glow, is called eyeshine and it is caused by the tapetum lucidum, which is a layer of tissue in the eyes of many vertebrate animals. The tapetum lucidum allows the animal to see better in low-light situations (such as after dark) by reflecting the light back into the retina. When a photo is taken of an animal that has tapetum lucidum in it's eyes, the light reflected from the flash of the photo often makes the eyes appear to glow. The same thing occurs when light is flashed into the eyes of animals that contain tapetum lucidum after dark.
